We welcome a broad range of theoretical and empirical contributions to our understanding of managing open innovation in current and emerging intermediaries in the technology transfer process. Topics may include, but are certainly not limited to:

The role of HTSFs in open innovation ecosystems and their relationship with other actors such as intermediaries and large firms

The open innovation processes, facilitators and challenges in science parks and incubators

Open business models of innovation intermediaries

Theoretical approaches that integrate open innovation with science parks and incubators

Management implications of the co-creation of IP for HTSFs, large firms and science parks and incubators
